Foundation Objectives.

The Foundation Objectives for 2012/2013 are as follows :

1. We will seek to fully understand Rotary International’s (Peace through Service), RIBI’s and District     initiatives for the year and support these.

 

2. Club Support of Foundation/Thanks for Life/End Polio now  -

    we plan a possible activity at Addenbrookes for Rotary Day Feb 2013 - very successful.

    and expect to contribute the same amount to Foundation as last year .

    We will keep the club informed of progress by RI in eradicating polio - India nolonger endemic !

    Support the District Fundraiser - Stokes Mayo Jars - await members returned jars.

    (so far over 3,700 children will be saved from polio by this fund-raiser)

 

3. Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars – We will host a few scholars and transport them to Rotary     meetings in the District starting in Autumn of 2012 and will plan in detail when we know who they are.

    We seek to nominate an out-going scholar, sponsored by the club.

 

4. Matching grants/ Simplified Grants, Future Vision

    Members will participate in the District-arranged training for the new grants system (Future vision) and we plan to apply for a matching grant in connection with an International project (eg.Tanzania school) -     5 club members attended the necessary training to allow the club to apply for matched funding next year 2013-2014..

 

5.GSE Team Visit

    Expect to participate in any GSE visit to Cambridge and host part of the GSE team from                 Melbourne in October 2012.  - 2 scholars are being hosted by members of the club.

 

6.Peace One Day - School project

    A number of local schools have been contacted in the area and some have agreed to work with us     for Peace through Service/Peace One Day. - A series of Talks and Debates have been very  successful, with good feedback from the schools and we hope to repeat them next year (2013-2014).

    We are in touch with the District Team and we aim to ask for a speaker to come from             Bradford University (a Rotary Peace scholar) to talk to some of the schools, along with an              academic if possible.  - Ana, a lawyer and Peace scholar from Argentina, led the Talks and                 Debates.
